Presentation on Draft Parliament-Private Sector Strategy
The
Hon'ble Chairperson, Members of the Good Governance Committee, Economic Affairs
Committee, and Secretariat staff participated in a presentation on the ‘Zero
Draft’ of the Collaboration Strategy between Parliament and the Private Sector
under the Voice for Green Change Partnership (V4GCP) project.
Mr.
Chhorten Dorji, Executive Director of the Handicraft Association of Bhutan
(HAB), presented the draft strategy, emphasizing the vital role of the private
sector in driving economic growth.
The
presentation emphasized the potential contributions of Parliamentarians to the
private sector development (PSD) outlining several strategies that could be
achieved through its three primary functions: legislation, oversight and
representation.
Following
the presentation, Members provided valuable feedbacks, highlighting the need
for clear collaboration with the Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(BCCI), empowering the media, and the preference for leveraging existing
committees instead of forming new ones. The project is funded by the European
Union (EU) and HAP in partnership with V4GCP and Civil Society Organizations
(CSOs) aims to engage cottage and small industries (CSIs) in governance to
develop a green, inclusive, and resilient economy.
The
Hon’ble Chairperson proposed actionable steps to refine the draft before its
final endorsement.
